If your TSH level is 0.35 do that mean you are hypo or hyper? And do that mean medication needs to be lowered or up? Taking 137mcg of levothyroxine

Based on the most recently recommended reference range, 0.3 to 3.0 is "normal." Older recommendations set the range at 0.5 to 4.5; on this range your TSH would be a bit low, suggesting mild hyperthyroidism. If you also have symptoms, your doctor would likely want to lower your replacement hormone dose a bit.

TSH is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroxine. If your T4 is low, your TSH would usually be high because the pituitary gland is trying to kick-start the thyroid to increase production. Conversely, a low TSH is related to hyperthyroidism.
